Bio / Background
As heard on NPR's Car Talk!
On Tone without Tension, musical raconteur Rob Huffman creates a sonic mosaic in which disparate elements become part of a grander and more compelling image.
Both a virtuoso instrumentalist steeped in Anglo and Irish musics and a wryly honest singer-songwriter in the Arlo Guthrie/Jim Croce mold, Rob performs original and traditional instrumentals and songs on guitar, Irish flute, and whistle. Rob is accompanied by fine backing musicians such as bluegrass stalwart Bob Dick on bass, Einstein’s Little Homunculus saxophonist Susan Gedutis Lindsay, and percussionist Ken Hickey from Boston rockers O Positive.
Rob’s songs reflect his keen observations of the human comedy. Brink's Garage, for example, tells the riveting story of the infamous 1950 Boston robbery that very nearly became "the perfect crime.
